Shawnigan Lake and Area
Sightseeing
The Skywalk gets you into nature with a spectacular view of the inlet. It's accessible to all ages and abilities.
This is only about a 15-minute drive from our place. I have yet to go, but our neighbours love the slide.

This repurposed rail bed is now a beautiful walking, biking, and horseback riding trail. It is easy to moderate if you stay on the railbed, and all you need are runners. If you want to take a walk/hike along the river, bring your boots it can be muddy around the roots.

Looking for a great activity for a date with some horses? Book a trail ride at Alpine Stables, they have access to amazing trails for all riding levels. You might even run into me when I am tacking up my leased horse for my lesson.

Looking for another horse experience? Check out the Maple Heart Ranch. They are a little closer to us, but you will definitely need a vehicle with decent clearance or be good at driving a logging road to get to their location. I recommend booking ahead.

This is a fantastic and challenging 30min-1h hike up depending on your experience. I recommend hiking boots, but runners will do. I do warn you it's vertical most of the way up, but it's so worth the view at the top.

Looking for a night off from cooking? Order in pizza, they deliver to our place, and being as remote as we are, that's a big deal. Plus their pizza is worth the drive if you want to pick it up yourself.

I've heard their bar is a good scene, but I've only ever ordered for take-out or delivery. Their food is worth the break from cooking. If you get it delivered, make sure to re-heat it so you get to enjoy the meal's full potential.
